Recovery from ice

It's winter in New England, but not cold enough to freeze the ice solidly. Here's a little video of my Phantom 1 getting stuck on thin ice and its recovery.

I'm a newbie here, so if I've offended by posting this on two different sections, my apologies.

Indeed it was lucky. 24 hours later the ice had melted another 30-40 feet into the pond. Had I not retrieved my Phantom the day it landed, it would be sleeping with the fishes now!

Winter isn't thru yet. I'd invest in a 2nd life preserver.

Wow, video was cool to watch, I'm glad you had a successful rescue. And LOL at Dave's comment for 2nd life preserver!
